2016 Video Game Awards Nominees

The 2016 Video Game Awards nominees have been announced.

A panel of judges from 29 international publications selected the nominees for The Game Awards 2016. Eight esports-focused outlets assisted in the selection of the nominees for the esports categories, the awards for which will be determined by global fan voting.

The Game Awards 2016 will be held Dec. 1 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. The event will be livestreamed on a wide variety of platforms, including virtual reality devices, with the pre-show set to begin at 8:30 p.m. ET before the event itself at 9 p.m.

Leading the list of 2016 nominees is Naughty Dog’s “Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End”, which received a whopping eight nods across six categories, including Game of the Year. As always, there’s some tough competition in that field, with Nathan Drake’s last ride going up against id Software’s “Doom”, Playdead’s “Inside”, Blizzard Entertainment’s “Overwatch” and Respawn Entertainment’s “Titanfall 2”.

All of those games received multiple nominations, as you would expect. “Inside”, “Overwatch” and Campo Santo’s “Firewatch” each garnered five nods; all three games are up for Best Art Direction. “Doom”, “Titanfall 2” and EA DICE’s “Battlefield 1” are each nominated in four categories, including together in Best Action Game.

GAME OF THE YEAR

For a game that delivers the absolute best experience across all creative and technical fields.
